Total Recruitment Group receives OHS certification

The Total Recruitment Group (TRG) has been awarded ISO 20000 certification with the standard AS/NZS 4801:2001 Occupational health and safety management systems.

The process for TRG to achieve accreditation involved an assessment of TRG’s procedures against a specific standard by an independent, accredited OHS auditor. The company was required to not only develop a management system that met each element of the standard, but to demonstrate that safety is managed centrally by an OHS team and group manager.

The process demands that all procedures are implemented consistently in each branch. Each branch must demonstrate these OHS procedures are being implemented locally.

TRG’s Group OHS Manager, Troy Ready, adds: “This certification is a huge achievement for TRG as we are one of only a few Australian recruiters to be certified with this level of OHS accreditation.

“Our robust OHS system ensures we are best managing the risks our employees are exposed to when working in a client workplace, to ensuring the safety of TRG employees at all times. We have successfully decreased our injury rates by 85% and doubled the reporting of hazards and incidents.

“This accreditation demonstrates that, regardless of where our employees are working, there is consistency and commitment in the way we manage employee safety. We build a strong partnership with our clients to address all matters affecting health and safety and, in the process, have improved the safety for our employees and those of our clients.”

TRG includes ABC Global Services, Bell Recruitment, Bluestone Recruitment, Clements Recruitment, Clexan-Peak Personnel, Online Personnel and OnlineRail.
